Any peeps seen this issue? Wife's Born needed a new front tyre. After fitting the car developed a fault with the power steering. Any thoughts on why this should happen?

What kind of fault? My steering wheel went out of line after the rear tyres were changed which seemed odd.

The warning message says power issue. A search on the interweb shows that someone with an ID4 had a similar problem and was related to faulty cable between 12v battery and power steering unit.

We now don't there was a link with the tyre change. Just coincidence.

Looks like it required a complete steering rack replacement. SMC Woking responded quickly and car now ready for collection.
